"Divers have been able to confirm that the deceased humpback whale spotted off the Danish coast is the creature that came to be nicknamed "Timmy" as it spent more than a month stranded off the northern German coastline in the Baltic sea. Denmark's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) confirmed the news on Saturday."
"Given that the whale was a similar humpback, found close to where it was released, the chances it was 'Timmy' seemed very high from the outset. A much-vaunted private barge rescue attempt at the end of April was considered a long shot from the outset, given the whale's ailing condition."
"The likelihood that the whale was the stricken humpback that was severely ailing by the time it was towed from the German coastline alrea"
Divers confirmed that a dead humpback whale found off Denmark is the same animal nicknamed “Timmy.” The whale had been stranded for more than a month along northern Germany’s Baltic coastline. Denmark’s Environmental Protection Agency confirmed the identification. The whale was described as severely ailing by the time it was towed from the German coastline. A private barge rescue attempt at the end of April was considered unlikely due to the whale’s condition. The confirmation links the Danish discovery to the earlier German stranding event.
